My heart is pulling SO hard for all the Beautiful acting noms.

Was anybody there tonight?

"Amen to that..........but how about Saving Mr. Banks? That could be sort of weird and wonderful." Yeah, I was sort of casting this in my head while I watched the movie. It would be wonderful, but quite unnecessary.

I'm surprised none of you have mentioned Norbert Leo Butz yet.

Anybody know if he's back yet?

I wonder if Taylor Trensch is on vacation? Clay Thomson is Michael all week.

John Arthur Greene tweeted that he was on both shows yesterday and both shows today. Anybody know why/if this is his first time going on?

So, the main consensus seems to be that the score sucks and Norbert Leo Butz is too good. Seems about right.

I must be the only one who likes the OBCR "When I Grow Up" more? I think my favorite improvement overall (aside from cutting it into three parts) is "Miracle". The juicier orchestrations compliment it perfectly, I think. And I MUCH prefer John Arthur Greene's solo to the OCR one.

Was anyone there tonight? Any curtain call speeches/activity?

Does anyone have the ears to tell me which Matilda sings which part in the 'Naughty' bonus track?

So psyched about this recording! It sounds gorgeous. I have been looking forward to buying this for a looooong time. ETA: My one complaint, however, is that I absolutely adore 'Miracle', and I'm a little bummed that they cut it into three different tracks.

What's the etiquette for taking photos with actors outside of the photo booth? I mean, a photo with Corey Cott was $50, but I saw photos of people with him all over Facebook in what seemed to be just some random place in the flea market.

Did anyone else notice Neil looked a little bothered by the end of the show? He seemed kinda bored. It looked like they were really only using him for pre-taped stuff and (bad) dance numbers.

I'm not there, but I saw someone post a picture of a bunch of chocolate cake slices at Matilda. Brilliant.

Yeah, I'm starting to worry about Cinderella.

When is this being released digitally? I've heard both September 27th (when it'll be on sale at the Shubert) and October 22nd (when it's released in stores).

"I Am What I Am" was played during the Republican National Convention once. EDIT: I believe it was an instrumental version, but, still.

"Matilda: That gorgeous moment in When I Grow Up when the key changes and the tempo picks up. "And when I grow up, I will have treats every day." " Couldn't agree more. Especially onstage with the swings? Chills every time. My first thought on this one was "Muddy Water" from Big River. The middle end-ish section where they both sing "look out for me" and then the orchestra does that "da-da-da-da" (sorry that was the absolute worst description of a song EVER) is one of my favorite parts in any...

"The Song of Purple Summer" from Spring Awakening. In fact, almost EVERY song in Spring Awakening ends quietly.
